Description

Crispy, chewy, and delightfully gooey, these Cheesy Sweet Potato Mochi balls combine mashed sweet potato, rice flour, and mozzarella with a savory-sweet glaze for the ultimate comfort snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 315g sweet potato, peeled and steamed
  • 150g rice flour
  • Mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes (for filling)
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)


Instructions

  1. Steam sweet potatoes until soft, then mash until smooth.
  2. Gradually mix in rice flour until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
  3. Cut mozzarella into small cubes for filling.
  4. Flatten a piece of dough, place mozzarella in the center, and seal tightly into a ball.
  5. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a little oil. Fry mochi balls until golden and slightly crispy on all sides.
  6. Mix oyster sauce and honey in a bowl to create the glaze.
  7. Brush the warm mochi with glaze, let it set for a glossy finish, and serve hot while the cheese is gooey.

Notes

  • Steam, don’t boil, the sweet potatoes for a better dough texture.
  • Seal the mochi tightly to prevent cheese leakage while frying.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the glaze.
  • Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or skillet to restore crispiness.
